View source for VLC command-line help

As you may have noticed, the command ''vlc --help'' is not very useful due to to the non-scrollable pop-up window that opened.

If you look for help, on a particular module, use ''vlc -p module --advanced''

So here the output of ''vlc --longhelp --advanced'' as of 15th April 2005 for the development version in Windows.

If you want extra explanations, you can try the ''--help-verbose '' option.

Usage: c:\Xtophe\vlc-0.8.2-svn-20050415\vlc.exe [options] [playlistitems] ...
You can specify multiple playlistitems on the commandline. They will be enqueued in the playlist.
The first item specified will be played first.

Options-styles:
  --option  A global option that is set for the duration of the program.
   -option  A single letter version of a global --option.
   :option  An option that only applies to the playlistitem directly before it
            and that overrides previous settings.

Playlistitem MRL syntax:
  URL[@[title][:chapter][-[title][:chapter]]] [:option=value ...]

  Many of the global --options can also be used as MRL specific :options.
  Multiple :option=value pairs can be specified.

  [file://]filename              Plain media file
  http://ip:port/file            HTTP URL
